Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal housing dirty bedding collection technology, and in particular to an animal housing dirty bedding collection system. Background Technology

[0002] In the laboratory animal industry, the centralized disposal of used animal litter is a crucial aspect of laboratory animal management. Firstly, used litter must be collected in designated containers to prevent dust and spillage during collection, thereby minimizing environmental pollution and potential hazards to laboratory personnel.

[0003] The appropriate treatment method must be selected based on the properties of the bedding material and the laboratory's regulations. Common methods include high-temperature sterilization, chemical disinfection, or professional waste disposal. Throughout the centralized treatment process, relevant biosafety and environmental protection regulations must be strictly followed to ensure the hygiene and safety of the laboratory site.

[0004] There are many ways to collect dirty bedding material: the more traditional methods include manual dumping, packaging, and transportation; there are also fully automated methods with a higher degree of automation.

[0005] Manual dumping and transportation of litter are highly dependent on human labor and require sufficient space in the washing room for multiple daily transfers to a larger external storage area. This places additional demands on the building's interior space. Furthermore, litter dust, rain, snow, or high temperatures pose significant challenges to workers' occupational safety. Especially for animal enclosures located on rooftops, the repeated use of freight elevators for transporting dirty litter results in prolonged elevator occupancy, and the odor from the dirty litter significantly impacts other floors. Fully automated dirty litter treatment requires a substantial initial investment, often exceeding one million yuan, and subsequent maintenance costs are also high.

[0006] Therefore, the collection and transportation of dirty bedding in high-rise animal housing requires a device that saves manpower, improves efficiency, and requires less investment. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a dirty bedding collection system for animal houses.

[0008] Embodiments of this utility model provide a dirty bedding collection system for animal housing, comprising:

[0009] support;

[0010] Collection assembly; the collection assembly includes a box mounted on a bracket, a bin wall vibrator installed at the bottom of the box, a flexible joint installed at the bottom of the box, a baling machine connected to the bottom of the flexible joint, and an ozone generator located below the box, the ozone generator being connected to the box via a connecting pipe;

[0011] The upper part of the box is sealed by three inspection covers. Two handles are fixed to the upper part of each inspection cover, and one of the inspection covers has a feed inlet and an exhaust outlet.

[0012] Furthermore, a maintenance platform is installed on one side of the bracket.

[0013] Furthermore, the upper end of the box is rectangular in shape, and the lower end of the box is pyramidal in shape.

[0014] Furthermore, two observation windows are installed on the enclosure.

[0015] Furthermore, an inspection door is installed on the enclosure.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a dirty bedding material dumper and a conveying pipeline installed on the roof, the conveying pipeline being connected to the dirty bedding material dumper and the conveying pipeline being connected to the inlet.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This invention utilizes gravity to transfer soiled bedding material, reducing the need for personnel to transport it up and down floors, reducing labor intensity, and saving costs, including labor costs. Compared with fully automated systems, it also saves on electricity costs and initial investment. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment of the invention proposes a dirty bedding collection system for animal housing, comprising:

[0025] The support frame 12 has a maintenance platform 1 installed on one side. Through the maintenance platform 1, staff can climb to the box 4. The box 4 is equipped with a maintenance door 13. Opening the maintenance door 13 allows for cleaning and maintenance of the inside of the box 4.

[0026] The collection component includes a housing 4 mounted on a bracket 12, and also includes a dirty bedding material dumper 2 and a conveying pipe 3 mounted on the roof. The conveying pipe 3 is connected to the dirty bedding material dumper 2 and to the inlet 7. The dirty bedding material dumper 2 is already commercially available, and it is necessary to protect the health of workers. By setting up the conveying pipe 3, the closed conveying pipe 3 can use gravity to concentrate the bedding material in the dirty bedding material dumper 2 into the housing 4 at the lower end, and the odor will not spread outward.

[0027] The upper part of the container 4 is rectangular, and the lower part of the container 4 is pyramidal. A wall vibrator 17 is installed at the bottom of the container 4, which can vibrate the dirty bedding material attached to the wall. A flexible joint 10 is installed at the bottom of the container 4, and a baling machine 11 is connected to the bottom of the flexible joint 10. The baling machine 11 is used to pack the dirty bedding material. An ozone generator 16 is installed at the bottom of the container 4. The ozone generator 16 is connected to the container 4 through a connecting pipe 15 to treat the odor in the enclosed space inside the container 4.

[0028] To facilitate observation of the interior of the enclosure 4, two observation windows 14 are installed on the enclosure 4. The inspection platform 1 can be moved to the observation windows 14 so that the staff can access the observation windows 14.

[0029] The upper end of the box 4 is sealed by three inspection covers 5. Two handles 6 are fixed on the upper end of the inspection cover 5. One of the inspection covers 5 has a feed inlet 7 and an exhaust outlet 8. The feed inlet 7 is connected to a connecting pipe, and the exhaust outlet 8 is a venting outlet connected to a hose for discharge.

[0030] Cleaning and packing of container 4: Every day, turn on the ozone generator 16 in the control box to deodorize the dirty padding material in container 4 with ozone. At a fixed time every day or when container 4 is full, use the packing machine 11 to pack the dirty padding material in container 4 and transfer it to the dirty padding material warehouse to wait for a qualified company to carry it out.

[0031] If there is dirty bedding material adhering to the inner wall surface of the housing 4 in the dirty bedding hopper, it can be vibrated by the hopper wall vibrator 17; if it cannot be removed by vibration, the inner wall can be rinsed with clean water.

[0032] This invention utilizes gravity to transfer soiled bedding material, reducing the need for personnel to transport it up and down floors and thus reducing labor intensity.

[0033] This utility model saves costs, including labor costs, electricity costs compared to full automation, and initial investment.

[0034] This invention saves on the use of freight elevators and reduces the impact on non-animal floors, especially the impact of irritating odors during the transportation of dirty bedding.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
